Bubba Rope is a tongue-in-cheek name, but the quality is dead serious. Bubba recovery ropes are tough items, but the folks behind the ropes have found that most rope failures are the result of cuts and abrasions from rocks, trees, and even vehicles’ surfaces such as bumpers. The Bubba Rope Life Guard protects your Bubba Rope and lets you pull your stuck buddies to safety.

Chevy Performance Crate Motor

Chevy consistently offers outstanding engine performance, and Chevy’s new LS376/525 crate motor lets enthusiasts driving all brands take advantage of the Bow Tie’s engine expertise. Chevy engine in a Ford? We’ve seen it and it works well. Whether you’re a diehard GM fan or an off-roader looking for an easy-to-install powerplant that brings outstanding performance under any hood, the LS376/525 crate motor deserves a look.

A blend of the LS3, 6.2L production engine with the racing-derived ASA camshaft. This engine is rated at 525 horsepower, 6,300 rpm, and 489 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.

An engine controller (part number 19259261) is also available from Chevy Performance and is calibrated specifically for this engine.

Of course, you know that LCA stands for lower control arm, right? Total Chaos now offers a boxed lower control arm option with its long travel kit for the ’96-to-’04 six-lug Tacoma. The boxed lower arms are compatible with hydraulic bumpstops and are stronger than the original tube-and-plate lower arms. Even though boxed LCAs are stronger, there is still sound logic behind the original-style lower arms, and that’s why Total Chaos offers both styles. Contact Total Chaos Fabrication to discuss what’s best for you and your Tacoma.

Even though it’s on the inside of the vehicle, the floor takes a huge beating from tracked-in mud and debris. Rugged Ridge All Terrain Floor Liners fit precisely, feature a deep tread surface, and are easy to clean.

Injection molding makes the All Terrain Floor liners fit better and allows a deep perimeter wall that keeps crud on the floor liner where it’s easy to contain and clean.
